Very interesting subject and your paint/decals look great.

Turned out nicely.

I like what you have here, I resisted this kit for years just because everyone else was building it. I was recently gifted the Mazmanian version and have been nibling at it some. Watch Don Yost YouTube video for this kit. It is helpful...

Your skillset never ceases to amaze, john. Beautiful model of a beautiful car, and of course perfectly detailed.

I hear ya, but I think the blower and scoop sticking out of the hood are a giveaway. LoL

Today I added the pedals, brake master cylinder and some wheelie bars. Now I realize I used the brake MC from the Nova, which appears to non-power brakes. That will need addressed! But after the WB went on. Do I add a spoiler and chute? After all it is a Pro Street car... What do you think?

Interesting build, I've not seen one of these before...

Finishing up some pieces and assembly. Body is almost ready to prime and I need to tie up a few loose ends.

"And get this, when done, the tire won't even be up inside the wheelwell." That is actually the way it usually is, but you have a much more realistic chassis. And the experience of doing it. That my friend is what this hobby is all about...

Had some time today so I knocked up an exhaust.

Thanks again to all for looking...

Thank you. I found them in my spare parts box, I do believe the could be from one of the older gasser kits maybe the 57 flip nose vette. I added the Hoosier logo from a decal sheet then sprayed them with flat clear.

Thanks, the interior is done with Krylon Satin Pimento I found at Hob Lob. The chassis fit nicely after extending it about 1/4" and after fitting the firewall I just had to fill in under the windshield cowl. Then I noticed the inner fenders would fit, soooooo. I did make a radi support thought. I'm actually surprised it worked out so well.

I'm interested to see the next step and to know what tool your using?

No football for me….

Very nice work...

It's a good looking Rod. Nice stance, cleanly built and perfect color. To bad about the paint finish. Personally I have had great success with Tamyia spray paint and trouble with enamels. The paint topic is an ongoing discussion at our club meetings. I'd love to have a good tutorial to share with the guys.

No, pretty sure it's plastic!

I have enjoyed watching this process, well done...

Now that is a great rendition of Bubble Bee, nicely done.

Stunning!

Making a pattern and replacement might be the best way.

Not very far!

Why can't we just enjoy the car for what it is? Why is it we have to analyze it, break it down to every nut and bolt. Dig up all the rumors and scrutinize, magnify and point out every aspect of the car. It did this, didn't do that, couldn't drive it, can't see under it, doesn't really matter. It was a show car before there were show cars, dude built it in a garage at home and I might add made history! Enough said...

Always enjoy saving a old classic. Why Pledge?
